Two abandoned dogs in two different locations become good friends after their rescue 🤗🤗

KZbin just told me you missed one of our previous videos, so please see which one you skipped here: www.HopeForPaws.org 😀
It's so cool how these two dogs in two different rescue locations look like they are related even though one weighs 50 pounds more than the other. Luckily for both of them, people knew to call #HopeForPaws for help.
JoAnn Wiltz and Alex Babcock headed out to save Chester, and as they were getting ready to head back to the hospital, another call came in.
After receiving medical care, both continued to their foster home with our friends at #LAAnimalRescue so if you would like to adopt them, please visit: www.LAAnimalRescue.org
Last thing: we are working on new volunteering opportunities for 2022 so we can continue to grow. We would love for you to join us here: www.HopeForPaws.org/Join
Thank you so much!

Wow Chester is such a sweet boy, despite being in a hopeless situation giving assurance to Little Tony. Such a sweet boy there

amen.. this is my favorite animal channel, with the most uplifting ❤ ppl and animal rescue stories anywhere.. 🌤

[@locabynature]

it's hard to wrap your head around how someone could let go of such amazing animals. they're all so sweet and loving. I do understand that some people pass away or have another big life change, but they could at least make arrangements for them. I'm just happy that Hope For Paws found them. now they have a chance of finding a really good home.

if you took it from a Shelter doesn't it mean that you fostered or adopted it from them. already, shelter is a place to keep rescued animals. I am just trying to clear my head of your word usage. keep up the good heart ❤️

[@alanafischer1577]

@@Hlutea-Hmar I live in a city where some people rescue animals and just protect them from the rain and give them food. When I adopted my dog the place was dirty and there was not enough food, there were almost 100 dogs. Also, I believe someone hurt her, maybe in the old house, or even in the "shelter".

[@NissrineA74]

I know 😭 so many people just don’t deserve dogs 🥺

[@jt1364]

Just because a dog is on its own doesn't mean it was abandoned. He could have gone for a hike and got lost. Dogs to tend to escape their homes and take off.

Always heartbreaking seeing a dog face into a corner so terrified. Thank you for all you do - again, I would adopt both immediately if I could. Chester and Tony are very sweet natured.

[@herdisweins943]

Little Tony looks just like the dog, I had, when I was 10. It brings sad memories, but also a happy ending. Her name was Buller and one dark icy evening, when she was in heat, she bolted out of the garden, looking for a love affair. But she was hit deadly by a car on the street. The man, who run her down, was very, very unhappy. So he promised to find me another dog. Next day he called us, saying his neighbor had a high prized beagle, who had gotten "illegal" pregnant with a black dachshund - and the owner was furious, saying the pups would all be drowned. We promised to take them all and find them homes. We got 5 puppies, kept Tulle who instantly became best friends with our cat and lived 12 happy years - and found good homes for the others. I've often wondered if Buller looked down from heaven and saw, how her death actually saved the lives of 5 puppies. I hope so.

[@em945]

What a lovely story😊

[@davidebert8034]

I hope they can be adopted together. Dogs and cats are the best. Humans, well, we have a lot of catching up to do.

[@LtRee96se]

Many thanks to the two caring families that called Hope for Paws and keep the dogs safe until rescue could happen. Folks, I'm on a limited budget. I had to cancel some subscriptions for things that I truly loved. But I'd rather go without eating for a day than cancel my monthly "gift" to Hope for Paws. I only give $20.00. I wish it were more. But for those of you thinking about a monthly "gift", do it. You won't regret it. I call it a "gift" because I'm the one blessed by the giving. And a live animal rescue is worth its weight in gold versus a dead animal lying in the streets. Give if you can. God bless you all. Blessed are we by being allowed to help Hope for Paws.

They definitely need to be💙adopted together, like big brother and little brother. I love❤️how Tony is a smaller dark-colored version of Chester. Hope for Paws, just a suggestion; if you cannot get a burger or something else beforehand, consider carrying cans of Vienna sausages. They are easy to store and don't require refrigeration. I buy them and give them to my dogs as a treat or cut them up as a surprise in their breakfast or dinner.

How exciting to see Little Tony look up at his "bather" at 7:30!! I felt as though he was thinking, "Can I REALLY trust this one?" How sweet that Chester was helping Little Tony. I just love dogs.
